Fairground truck. If JD 725x = 1936, or if just JD 725 = 1932

Since that appears to be a Bedford K/M/O type front, neither is correct.

Headlight height grille and front overhang says its after 1939 semi-forward control Bedford O-type (headlights look small possibly war-time fitment?).

However the registration would say its 1936 Bedford WTH or WTL with updated O-type front end. Very possible on a faiground truck I think? The grille it self has been modded in the chromed areas, edit: with the contrast increased its a standard grille with darker reflected areas. The wheel design would possibly determine which is right but I guess they are not seen.

No other sighting found in the film - not even a blurry one.

Front never clearly shown. Big enough for /vehicle.php?id=939128 to drive up planks into the back.

Sunbar wrote Possibly a Ford Model BB with wheels having only five slots.

edit: but not the front as seen on Youtube... Looks Bedford possibly


Sunbar wrote Problem solved I believe. Bedford WTL so possibly also the front as seen here? /vehicle_939134-Bedford-WTH-1936.html Headlight position is lower as previously (as on the O-type) but wheels are as WTL.

Combine listings I think, both as Bedford WTL with front modified as O-type, unless its certain that they are not the same vehicle?


No evidence onscreen whether they are or are not the same vehicle. Main is a single isolated sequence, night sequence similarly separate.
